Destructively Mine

Thank you so much Valentine PR, PRH Audio and Netgalley for the chance to get the whole experience with this book. Narrators were Aaron Shedlock who was so perfect for Rocky and Carly Robins who was also a great fit. This was one I was really looking forward to. There is so much going on and I kept thinking about how it would all end up. I was completely invested in this story. Like, you know it is good if you keep thinking about it. I enjoyed how a lot of the relationships in this story could be considered unconventional and I am always there for that. I am so in awe of Phoebe and Hailey's relationship, I love a strong female bond. Rocky was such a different yet great character. It was so entertaining following his journey and how much he grew. I never knew what to expect from that man.

My biggest complaint was I wanted more at the end. I kind of sat there like.... is it over? Do we have a third book? I guess I was left with some questions. The conclusion was wonderful however I was left feeling like there was something missing, or maybe a few things I still need to know.

Deeply Examined

 Holy Moly this was a wild ride. It starts off so strong with her at her gynecologist appointment. Y'all it was more than I could have imagined. Use that imagination or better yet read this one! And then more and more keeps happening. Let me preface with this, I read a lot of stalker trope books. Never and I mean never had I thought, well at least this one was a moral stalker. My name is Jessica, like the FMC, and he(Adam) is welcome to take me to the office or stalk me any day.

I loved how there is so much more depth to this than just a stalker romance. The smut was on fire buuuuuut, the plot was right up there with it. I was so consumed with how Jessica has no idea of Adam's past. And how she finds out?!?! OMG, I was like noooooooo. This book kept me engaged and I love how Jess stayed true to herself even when I know she was hurting. It was so entertaining peeling off each layer of the story and at the end I was not sure how it was going to go with all the curveballs that were thrown in.

I worked in the medical field for quite sometime so this book was a lot of fun and very familiar. If you want a dark romance mixed with medical knowledge then look no further.

Something about her makes me break all my rules. I almost hate her for it.

After years of sex that blurred the lines of control and pleasure, I didn’t think anything could truly surprise me anymore. But she has. Jessica.

“I couldn’t imagine it, liking myself. I was so filled with anger and self-loathing. Looking at you gave me hope that maybe someday I could look in a mirror and not hate my own reflection.

Convict

Let me just start with the fact that there are three books in this series. 

Do with that what you will. I adore Amorette, the fight within herself and her

moral compass is a constant battle and I absolutely feel her with every

ounce of my being.  I mean, if you want to talk about a gray area?! I

cannot wait to see what Blake will bring  us in the third book but I am

here for it. These brothers have me so back and forth, they have my

head spinning. 

“Love is not about liking someone.  It’s about valuing them as a person.

Knowing you’d do anything, be anything, to keep them alive.” -Amorette

Even when she says this, she proclaims she sounds like a hypocrite

to her own ears. How do you think we all feel Amorette???

Oh how I adore her and her fierceness. I mean how can you not love

all of them in some messed up way.  Please bring on Killer!

The House

 I got to listen to this on Libby and I thought the audio was well done. I loved how well the narrators portrayed both main characters. This was a wild ride for me. I did not find it scary or super thrilling but the unknown and entertainment were enough for me to finish this rather quickly. The house provides for Gavin and I thought nothing wrong at the beginning. Once we get to know Delilah things begin to take a turn. I loved Delilah's spunk and outside of the box thinking. I mean she gave that house the benefit of the doubt for sure. More chances than most people would, I think.

Once we start getting answers and the events start making sense I was a bit shocked by some of the things that transpired. So the surprise factor wasn't huge but definitely was there. I did think the ending was creative and I did enjoy the book.

Total side note: Her bestie, I don't know how to spell his name because it was an audio, total star in this. And his mom, such an MVP in this story. Could she have known or suspected something, totally! I think they redeem themselves enough.

🏠 Gavin knew this was insane. He should be horrified that everyone had essentially let him fend for himself. But it almost made him feel better. Like he hadn’t been abandoned by the entire town after all.
